People bingo
Each student draws a large three-by-three grid (i.e. nine squares). Slowly read through all the names on the register (spelling difficult names). Students must randomly select nine of these names (of people they don’t already know) to write into spaces on their grid. When everyone has a full grid, the students walk around the room, find their nine people, chat a little and make some notes about each person. Afterwards, play ‘bingo’ by calling out names randomly -- students tick a name if they have it on their own grid. For each name, ask the class to indicate who the person is and tell you something about the person. When someone completes their grid with nine ticks, they win. (But you could always play it again!)
